I wonder if Judge Posner is prepared to apply his hostility to privacy to his own work. Will we next hear of him coming into court some morning stark naked? After all, wearing robes – and other clothing – must, in his warped view, be for the sole purpose of hiding dishonesties in his work, correct?

By the way, I studied under Aaron Director, the founder of the “law and economics” program at the University of Chicago Law School, and I cannot imagine Aaron subscribing to Posner’s anti-privacy nonsense!
